In an idealistic sense, yes - people "should be able". But, when you look at the number of low post-count noobs, that's NOT a realistic assumption. There are people who see a post here and assume that there is a reasonably strong chance that what they see will work.

For those of us who are more experienced and literate, a radio from another phone, which offers NO benefit, while presenting SIGNIFICANT risk screams "Don't even download, much less flash!". I, for one, was not for one nano-second even the least bit tempted to try it.

But others didn't really understand the risk.

IMHO, your post should have been prefaced with huge, bold, flashing, red letters to discourage noobs who were tempted to try it.

The point here is that not about the warning, it's about how some users are doing the blame game on me. To me I think some are blaming me for posting this and they bricked their phone. I think it's not fair to blame anybody on here because as I stated in earlier replies, this is a free community and you should know what you are up to regardless you are noob or not noob. We are all smart individuals IMHO!!

Unfortunately, not everybody here is "smart" (i.e. experienced)!

However, I will generally agree that anyone who comes to forums like this one is taking a risk; and it's their responsibilty. But, not everyone understands the inherent risks.

I agree with you 100%. I personally did not try this, nor am I naieve enough to attempt something like this as I DO have experience and know what is safe and what isn't.

I am not blaming you for posting this radio for others to try nor am I saying that it is ok for others to do so. What I am saying is that it is foolish to think that everyone(expecially noobies) can and does understand the inherant risk when you do something like this.

No hard feelings, Dan.

how do parts of roms decide where they will sit in memory? is it possible that due to the memory size difference between the titan and vogue that their different parts reside at different memory adresses, and when flashed to different device overwrite other parts??? example, say titan radio resides a little lower in memory, could it be overwriting part of the bootloader and therefore bricking the device???

The reason I ask, is because I would not have though flashing anything but a bootloader could brick a device, guess I will have to be a little more carefull with my thinking.

I guess the short question would be, what desides where the rom gets written, the rom itself, or the bootloader that is loading it?
